During the weekend closure, additional smart motorway work alongside the bridge demolition included the removal of 2,000 metres of temporary barriers, installation of environmental barrier posts and essential surveying works.

More than 2,500 tonnes of rubble was broken up and cleared away following the controlled demolition of the bridge, part of which will be recycled and used in other parts of the smart motorway scheme.
